Do I NEED a domain name to be successful?

Well first off, I'm not really sure where I should have posted this, so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place.

Currently my site is http://quotevoid.sitesled.com I get about 200-300 hits a day after about 5 months. Most of that traffic is generated through things I do, such as posting "quote of the day" topics on various message boards. I would say maybe 10-20 hits a day are from search engines. Adsense says I make about 9 cents a day, and I've made a total of about $13 in 5 months.

Anyways, after hearing that, do you think a domain name would help at all? Like, does having one improve my page rank and what not?

Thanks for any help!

 

A domain name could only help your business, not hinder it. You can get domain names from as low as $3 from registerfly if you want a .info, dot coms not much more expensive from godaddy or namecheap.

 

Definitely get a domain.
Also, once you have a domain you can really think about branding if you have other ideas and expand...

 

yes definatley u need a domain

 

yup listen to the people lol

 

Can anyone help me transfer funds from my paypal to either moneybookers or epassporte? I am willing to pay $115 for $100 being transfered. Please let me know.

 

No, You dont need a Domain Name to be successful, I run a MySpace website and one of my competitors used to be listed on the top ten for specific keywords, and his/her site was a subdomain. As I have learned Google treats subdomains like a normal domain. So all in all... Your own personal Domain Name Looks more professional, But You dont have to have your own personal Domain to be successfull

 

It takes a lot more than a domain name to be successful. If it were that easy we would all be rolling in the cash.

 

you mean we aren't all rolling in cash?

on a serious not, get a domain name, its much easier for your users to remember and it is easier to advertise. best of luck to you.

 

Yes some .info domain would cost you only $3. You can find free or dirt cheap shared hosting

 

It's TOO cheap for branding your success, so why not invest a very low amount for big incoming possibility in your success ??

 

I always suggest to start with a domain and a logo to brand yourself as early as possible.

 

Just get a domain name, they aren't that expensive (unless you plan on buying a neat one off of someone which could be pretty expensive).

 

domain name is like the minimum requirement for any internet business

 

You should buy a domain name because

[1] It gives your business a unique look
[2] You can have advantages of Google Ads and a lot of other choices for ads
[3] You can serve affiliates too I think, much more options in those too
[4] You can even try selling links if you get a good PR
[5] It opens up an option for you to sell your website later on

IT

 

Alright lol, looks like I should get a domain name!

Currently, I'm liking sitesled alot, but I don't really want to get on their plan because it is w/e a month, like 3.99 or 4.99 or something. I remember I found a site once, not sure which, where you could enter a promotinal code, 777, and you could get a years worth of hosting + domain name for like $10. Anyone know of the site I'm refurring to?

Thanks for the advice! I never even thought about if my current site gets popular and then I change names, then I will have to redirect tons of links and what not.

BTW, is it easy to redirect links? Like when a site changes their url and their old url has a page saying "we have moved, you will be redirected in five seconds, or click below to go there now." Is that at all difficult to do?

 

Buy a domain if your serious about making more money online.

 

you should get a quality hosting and domain name
